NASBA Gearing Up for 2014 Sessions

State Board Report

December 2013

With 12 jurisdictions in session year-round (District of Columbia, Guam, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and Wisconsin), and another 28 convening in January, NASBA has been monitoring 2013 legislation as well as pre-filed legislation for 2014. In addition, 26 legislatures work within the framework of a two-year cycle, allowing them to carry over legislation. In fact, of the 209 high-priority bills monitored by NASBA that were filed during this year, 58 of those bills can potentially carry over to 2014 sessions.

To review legislation of interest to a Board of Accountancy, click here. Once on the Legislative Tracking home page, click on any “green” state or jurisdiction — green indicates active legislation being monitored by NASBA — to see a list of legislative bills from that particular state/jurisdiction. Once the list of legislation appears, the title of each bill acts as a link to the legislation and provides other important information (the bill number, sponsor, bill summary, and status of the bill within the legislative process).

If you have questions or comments about any legislation, please contact John Johnson, Director of Legislative and Governmental Affairs, at jjohnson@nasba.org.
